Can't remember your Windows user password? As you all know without knowing the current password we are unable to change Windows password. Today I am going to tell you two easy tricks to change Windows password without knowing the old password. These tricks work on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP.

Option 1: Change Windows Password from Command Prompt

This is an especially handy trick if you want to change a password on an account but you've forgotten the old password (going through the Control Panel can require confirmation of the old password). You need to have admin access to perform this change from the command line.

If you're totally locked out of Windows, you're unable to run any program such as command line tool to change your password. In this situation, you need to use a bootable media to change Windows password.
